What will you do as a QC Inspector?
As a QC Inspector at NIJL, you ensure that primarily steel and aluminium components and structures meet the agreed quality standards, technical specifications and customer requirements. You perform quality inspections at fabrication facilities and on site during different stages of the production process. As an ISO 9001-certified organisation, NIJL works according to clearly defined quality standards and processes. As QC Inspector, you play an important role in ensuring these standards are met throughout the manufacturing process. Inspections mainly take place in Southern and Eastern Europe, including Portugal, Spain, the Czech Republic and Hungary. On site, you independently inspect aspects such as dimensions, welds, material identification and surface treatments, including wet painting, powder coating and galvanizing. Regular travel within Europe is therefore an important part of the role.
Reviewing project-specific quality documentation, including welding documentation, coating procedures and NDT documentation;
Verifying that products and structures comply with drawings, technical specifications, contractual requirements and applicable standards;
Performing dimensional inspections and inspecting welds, material identification and traceability;
Inspecting surface treatments such as wet painting, powder coating and galvanizing;
Recording and signing off completed inspections in Inspection and Test Plans
Performing or witnessing measurements, tests and Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs), documenting the results and any non-conformities in inspection reports and NCRs, and monitoring corrective actions through to satisfactory resolution
"NIJL is an innovative and internationally operating company where you get the opportunity to work on unique engineering projects, take on responsibility, and be part of a close-knit team that values quality, collaboration and personal development."
At NIJL, you work on custom-built access systems and steel structures that enable technicians to work safely on aircraft, trains and large industrial installations. Projects are technically challenging and range from relatively compact structures to complete systems for international customers.
You will join a compact organisation of approximately 35 employees, with an informal and approachable culture. Communication lines are short, hierarchy is limited and the CEO’s door is always open.
You will report to the QHSE Manager, Tommy. In your daily work, you will have regular contact with Project Managers and Engineers throughout the different projects. You are given considerable responsibility and freedom to organise your work and can quickly coordinate with colleagues involved in the technical aspects of the project.
NIJL also regularly organises team activities outside of day-to-day work.

You recognise yourself in the following profile

MBO or HBO level of working and thinking, preferably in a technical discipline;
Experience with quality inspections within, for example, steel construction, structural fabrication, machine building, offshore, maritime or a comparable technical environment;
Experience with dimensional inspections, welding inspections and reading technical drawings;
Knowledge of surface treatments, such as wet painting, powder coating or galvanizing. A relevant coating qualification or demonstrable practical experience is a strong advantage;
Familiar with quality documentation and inspection processes such as ITPs, NCRs, FATs and NDT/NDE documentation;
You work accurately and independently and take a practical, decisive approach during inspections;
You communicate easily with fabricators, suppliers and project teams and are willing to travel regularly within Europe;
You are fluent in English. Dutch is an advantage and German is a plus.

At NIJL, you will take on an independent and responsible quality role with a strong international dimension. Your work goes beyond inspecting and signing off products. You will also have the opportunity to work with fabricators on improving their working methods, welding processes and surface treatments
NIJL offers a salary between €4,000 and €4,500 gross per month, depending on your knowledge and experience. You will work full-time based on a 40-hour working week and receive 25 vacation days and 13 rostered days off.
You will work on technical, custom-built structures used in international industrial environments. With a wide variety of projects, fabricators and countries, no two weeks are the same.
NIJL also offers a flexible pension scheme and travel allowance. International travel, overnight stays and related business expenses are fully arranged. Additional benefits include a company fitness programme and bicycle scheme.
